The Forgotten Prince

Part 49

Clarke's Pov.

Seeing his eyes move over my features, I see his hand reach out for mine, and I hesitantly take it.

"L-lexa?" I almost sob out, and Ravens eyes widen.

"There's isn't much time, Clarke." Lexa or well Theo says.

"H-how?" I breathe out, and I see a small smile makes its way on Theo's face.

"Just like sheidheda, I've fought for control. I pushed him back for now. But I need to help Theo take control." She says, and more tears run down my cheeks .

"I'm glad you found love again. You and him both deserve it. " lexs says with a small smile both I shake my head.

"I love you." I sob out, and I feel his thumb run over my hand.

"And I love you, but we both know your place is with Theo. He's your future, and like my little brother said before, the people we love will never leave us." Lexa says with a smile, and I hesitantly nod my head.

"I know.." I whisper as I wipe away my tears with my free hand.

"I need to go. The longer he stays trapped, the more sheidheda will try to take full control.  Remember, once Theo is in control again, only then take the flame out." Lexs says to Raven and me.

"And Clarke." Lexa states, and I let out eyes connect again.

"Take care of Theo, remind him that he shouldn't turn his hurt into anger.  Remind him off the man he is in his heart." Lexa says with a smile.

"I-i promise," I say with  a small sob as I lean down and soflty place my kiss against Theo's.

As I pull away, I see his eyes roll in the back of his head again as his body goes limb.

"A-are you alright?"Raven carefully asks me, and I let my red and puffy eyes meet hers.

"I-im I don't even know." I say wish a shaky breath.

"I still have Becca's book. Maybe u can help them push sheidheda back." Raven says as she practically starts to run out of lab.

"Come back to me, Theo." I whisper as I trace my finger over his jawline.

Theo's Pov

"Please stop," i sob out as I feel the whip connecting with my back again.

"You deserve this Theo,you've disappointed me ." Mother says as she brings the whip down again, and a pained yell leaves my lungs.

"Please, I'm sorry," I sob out as my legs give out under me, and the only thing holding me up now are the metal chains hafing from the ceiling.

"I've warned you before, and still you didn't listen ." Mother says as she stands in front of me with the whip in her hand.

"You're a weak boy Theo Kom Azgeda, and not worty of love." Mother bites my way as she brings the whip down again on my chest, and a yell leaves my lungs .

Seeing her throw the whip on the ground, she takes a knife and puts it in one of the torches.

"N-no, please don't," I sob out as I see the knife slowly turning red . Seeing Mother walk over to me again with the bright red blade, I try to back away, but the chains hold me I  place.

"Mother, please." I try to plead with her, but a disgusting smirk makes its way on her face before she puts the blade against my chest.

"N-noo "I scream out at the top of my lungs from the feeling of the hot blade against my skin, trashing in the chains Mother just pushes the blade deeper into my skin while tears and screams leave my body.
